try doing the movement before adding the hoop in, and use an adult size hoop like a 40"(or bigger)

I received these tips from Amanda
Ok, so the shimmy. For this move you will need to know neck hooping. It also helps if you can do the move where you put your hands inside of the hoop while waist hooping. The hoop will be traveling around your waist in your inflow/natural direction. Look to your first side (I am right handed, so I look to my right) and you will begin to see openings everytime the hoop revolves around you. This is your opportunity to bring your first hand in. You bring in your first arm, immediately followed by your second, then start doing very large shoulder shrugs to bring the hoop up to your neck. When the hoop reaches your neck, quickly switch to neck hooping forward and backward. A lot of people get stuck because they open their arms too wide when they stick them inside the hoop. Keep your arms pressed up against your sides while doing the shoulder shrugs.

I am new too.. about 2 weeks into this whole hooping thing. I have been getting so frustrated lately when I can't even keep the hoop at my waist. I also appreciate helpful tips sooo much. :)
